Why create this blog?

St. Martha is no ordinary saint. While most saints are vey kind, very religious or very conscientious, St Martha was a real person who cared and worried a lot, served the people in her family and around her responsibly and demanded help and accountability whenever necessary.

I happen to satisfy my curiosity on St. Martha because the story on Mary and Martha were repeatedly read during her feast. In that bible reading, Mary was commended for giving time to listen to Jesus while Martha spent so much time preparing for the food Jesus was about to eat. It was supposed to be St. Martha's feast day. Isn't the reading should tell how because of her strong character and persistence, she was able to convinvce Jesus to go to Jerusalem because something bad happened to Lazarus. It is the same persistence and determination that compelled Jesus to bring Lazarus back to life.

This is the reason I am creating this blog. There are more things about St. Martha's character than becoming a cook. Her determination and persistence helped her brother; made people realize how much she values kinship; and how she pushed Jesus to do the greatest miracle in the bible that not even Moses was able to do.

I dedicate this blog to get wisdom in St. Martha's character, will and love to her family.
